Chapter 44 – Episode 44. Preparations (5)
Yun listened to my words, her face showing deep contemplation for a moment, before she quickly drafted a contract.
When I asked why she was drawing up a contract, she replied,
“Well, it seems like you, at least, have a firm grasp of the essence of this coin.”
I nodded at her words, and with that, our contract was sealed.
“Shall we wrap up the boring business talk here?”
“Aah… Y-yes!”
I put the signed contract into the bag I had prepared beforehand, and then continued with small talk.
“No, I mean, that part is all meaningless-!”
“I-if you think about it that way, then here too…!”
Miharu-san had said that Yun wanted to overcome her fear of men, so I tried my best to keep the conversation going with topics that Yun would find familiar.
Of course, the familiar topic was anime.
I was really glad that I had watched that old anime that my senior had recommended when I was just a private.
After a while,
“U-um, would you, would you like to come into my room?”
“Your room?”
“Y-yes… I have some figures there…”
In the middle of our otaku discussion, the topic of figures came up, and Yun asked if I would like to see the figures in her room.
At that, I wondered if it was really okay, and hesitated for a moment, before glancing at Miharu-san.
-Nod.
Miharu-san nodded as if to say it was okay.
“Then, shall we take a quick look?”
To be honest, I was curious about the figure with the detailed panty lines that Yun had mentioned.
Anyway, Yun’s room, which I entered, was… how should I put it?
‘Wow… it’s a total mess.’
It was exactly what you would call a pigsty.
‘Even when I was a shut-in before I possessed this body, it wasn’t this bad.’
Looking at the state of the room, I looked at Miharu-san next to me with a look that said, ‘Don’t tell me you didn’t clean this place even though you were paid to?’ She looked back at me, looking wronged.
“I, I tried to clean it too. But she said I couldn’t…”
It seemed that this was Yun’s own sanctuary that even Miharu-san couldn’t enter.
Sadly, it seemed that Yun wasn’t proud of her own sanctuary.
“I, I usually clean it myself!”
Judging by how red her face was as she said that, it seemed that she didn’t usually clean it at all.
As I was briefly looking around the pigsty-like room,
I saw a familiar screen.
No. To be precise, it was something I had a love-hate relationship with.
[Sub Episode: Save the Wounded Reclusive Hikikomori!]
It was the sub-episode.
‘Wait, a sub-episode is appearing here?’
Why did I have a love-hate relationship with sub-episodes? The reason was very simple.
It was the damn system that had prevented my first sex in this Takuya’s body.
Of course, it wasn’t completely useless.
It certainly helped me get laid. But now I have hypnosis.
To have a system that makes me fulfill certain conditions to get laid with women that I could just “click” and get with hypnosis.
‘Is there even a need to use this?’
That’s why as soon as I saw the sub-episode screen, I was about to press the decline button.
[Reward: You can see the ■■ of a coin and a certain stock.]
But just as I was about to press the decline button, this screen quickly appeared.
Seeing that screen, I could finally smile.
Right. It was a mission with such shitty conditions for sex. There was no way there wouldn’t be a reward!
The problem was that the exact details weren’t revealed.
‘I don’t know what that ■■ is, but as long as the words coin and stock are included, I shouldn’t lose out.’
At least, as long as coin and stock were involved, I wouldn’t lose out.
After hesitating for a moment,
I ended up pressing the confirm button on the sub-episode screen.
To be honest, I was curious about what would happen if I cleared it.
‘By the way, if I have to save her, how do I do that?’
Hmm… Do I just get laid with her?
‘No. No matter what, that can’t be it.’
As I was having such strange thoughts, I remembered something from my memories of Hanaya.
‘Ah. Come to think of it. There was usually a tip window that appeared, wasn’t there? It’s not appearing this time?’
Could it be that this time, I have to clear it on my own?
‘Ah. That’s a bummer.’
While I was thinking about how to clear the sub-episode,
Yun, trying her best to hide her flushed face, walked past the pigsty towards the place where the figures were, and as I was putting aside my thoughts about how to clear the episode and thinking about how to get in there,
A sudden accident occurred.
“Kyaa!”
Yun, who was walking through the pile of trash, stumbled, as if she had stepped on something wrong, and fell.
Behind her, there was a pile of trash that looked quite hard.
Fortunately, Yun quickly grabbed the clothes rack behind her, preventing herself from falling onto the trash.
But the real problem was something else.
As Yun fell, the clothes she was wearing got caught on the clothes rack, and her clothes were pulled up, exposing her upper body.
Was it because her bra was showing?
If she had only been wearing a bra, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. It was just an accident, and only her underwear was showing.
Is that not enough of an accident? No. Compared to what I was seeing now, that was nothing.
‘When I first saw her, I thought she was a timid Bocchi-like girl… but she’s quite bold…’
That’s because…
“H-huet?”
On Yun’s exposed upper body, instead of a bra, there were nipple covers…
‘Nipple covers… I’ve only ever seen those in manga…’
I was speechless at the shocking fashion that I had never seen before, either before or after possessing this body.
Fortunately or unfortunately, my blank stare at the scene was only for a moment.
Miharu-san, seeing Yun’s state, quickly covered my eyes and said,
“T-Takuya! I’ll take care of it, so please go outside quickly!”
At her words, I also came to my senses and hurriedly left the room.
Squeak.
Thud.
The door to the room closed, and after a while,
I could hear Yun crying and Miharu-san’s voice trying to comfort her.
Hearing those voices, I couldn’t help but sigh.
“Haa…”
No. To be precise, it was because of the screen in front of my eyes.
‘I thought it was a rare day when things were going well.’
[TIP 1. Listening to her story will bring you closer to saving her.]
It seems like it was just a day of bad luck.
***
It was about an hour later that Miharu-san came out.
Miharu-san carefully closed Yun’s door and came out to the living room.
I handed Miharu-san a cold glass of water as she came out of the room and immediately asked about Yun’s condition.
“I hope Yun isn’t traumatized because of me?”
To be honest, it wasn’t my fault… probably, but it was still something that could be traumatic for Yun, who was afraid of men, so I asked.
At my words, Miharu-san looked surprised for a moment, then smiled again and said to me,
“Yun is fine. Actually, Yun said she wanted to apologize to Takuya and asked you to come into the room.”
“Apologize?”
No. It was just an accident. Why would she apologize?
And if you think about it, I was the one who got a good view, right?
As I was making a face that showed I didn’t understand, Miharu-san just asked me to go into the room and didn’t say anything else.
So, I went into the room as Miharu-san had asked, and all I could hear was Yun’s sobbing from under the blanket on the bed.
‘Man, this is so awkward.’
And I stood there awkwardly in the room that was filled with only that sound, exuding an awkward atmosphere.
Honestly, after seeing such a shocking scene, it was inevitable that it would be awkward.
So, I stood there awkwardly for a while, before deciding to be confident.
Right. I didn’t do anything wrong (probably)! I have nothing to be ashamed of! Why should I be intimidated!
‘Let’s be confident. If I’m awkward, the other person will be even more awkward.’
And in this kind of situation, if I’m awkward, the other person will be even more awkward, so it was better to be confident.
Thinking that, I walked towards the bed where Yun was under the blanket, and
-Thump.
I sat down on the edge of the bed where Yun was under the blanket.
I did this to show her that I wasn’t awkward with her even in this situation.
Fortunately, my appeal seemed to have worked, as Yun’s sobbing subsided a little.
After a while, Yun apologized to me.
“Hic… I-I’m sorry. For showing you such an unsightly side of me…”
“No. It’s okay. It wasn’t really your fault, Yun. It was just an accident.”
At my consolation, Yun shook her head and said,
“E-ever since before, I’ve always been like this… I’ve always been hated…”
“Who would hate you for an accident like this?”
This incident was just a simple accident. It wasn’t anyone’s fault.
But to react like this to something like this, it was honestly a bit strange.
And my question was easily answered by Yun’s next words.
“T-the truth is, I have a lucky pervert constitution…”
Lucky pervert?
A term used to describe the cliché in anime where the male protagonist accidentally falls on the heroine’s chest or sees her panties?
I asked why the term lucky pervert suddenly came up.
“No. Why is that?”
“W-well…”
At my question, Yun began to tell her past story.
